Outline of Final Research Achievements |
1. We explored the role of a novel GPCR in hematopoietic tumors. We expressed this novel GPCR in mouse myeloid tumor cells and analyzed its role. We also examined the role of this novel GPCR in the survival of GPCR-expressing cells. Furthermore, RNA-seq analysis provided data to infer a new signal transduction pathway by this GPCR. 2. We investigated the role of this GPCR in normal hematopoietic cells. Peripheral blood samples from GPCR knockout mice were analyzed.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
今回新たに見いだした造血器腫瘍特異的に発現しているGPCRは、細胞の様々な機能に関与して腫瘍化に寄与していると考えられた。一方正常造血における本GPCRの役割も検討し、本GPCRを阻害することは新たな造血器腫瘍の標的戦略と考えられた。
